Abstract: The internet of things has many applications. One of the most important IOT applications is home automation. IOT provides user with monitoring and controlling of home appliances, server security and security in a smart home. Home automation system is a promising method at present to reduce the cost of bill and comfort living homes. The system can be secure and control heater, air condition and etc. In this research, the proposed system is designed and implemented home automation system for monitoring and controlling appliance in the home using automatic and manual way at any time and everywhere. In addition, the proposed system has ability to detect any unwanted movement and arising fire and make alarm the user whatever where are. The proposed system has been built by using the wireless sensor network (ZigBee). A website has been designed to monitor home sensors and control home appliances by reading the information of sensors of the WSN nodes. The microcontroller in the coordinator unit uses to collect the data from sensing node and send the information data to the web site by using GPRS Sim 908. After the microcontroller receives the data sensor from sensing node, the microcontroller will send the data to control unit that will control the system automatically. The system is controlled manually when the homeowner wishes to control the system from the website and the process is performed using Sim 900.
